European Union (EU) Citizenship

European Union (EU) citizenship is a legal status that grants individuals who are citizens of an EU member country certain rights across all member states. These rights include free movement and residence, voting in local and European elections, diplomatic protection abroad, and access to social benefits like healthcare. EU citizenship complements national citizenship, fostering a sense of shared identity and cooperation among Europeans. It enables people to live, work, study, and travel more easily within the 27 member countries, promoting integration and economic growth while respecting each country's sovereignty.
